It is claimed that users can adjust the field of view and brightness of the smart glasses based on AR based on their requirements so that the wearable device is convenient to use outdoors or at home.
"For consumers, the Vuzix Blade is the ideal companion to your Android or iOS smartphone, allowing users to always be connected, stay informed, and never miss a photo shot", the company said.
Ahead of this year's Consumer Electronics Show (CES), Amazon announced a new tool kit called the Alexa Mobile Accessory Kit that will allow developers "to bring Alexa to portable, on-the-go devices such as hearables, headphones, smart watches, fitness devices, and more". This is expected to be a win-win situation for both firms.
AR is a technology that superimposes digital information such as maps, text messages and more onto a person's view of the real world, while virtual reality submerses a user into a completely different digitally created world. Amazon would generate revenue from its Alexa service, while Vuzix's smart glasses would easily appeal to the smart assistant's following. That includes stock prices, sports scores and weather data. They could even get weather updates through the glasses. The smart mirror will cost $999 on up and become available in late March.
Women absent from key BAFTA nominations
There was no room for these behemoths at the Baftas , despite its eligibility for selection and seven nods at the Golden Globes. Natalie Portman's words from the Golden Globes will be resounding in the heads of the awards show's PR team on Tuesday morning.
Vuzix will release its AR glasses by the second quarter at a cost of about United States dollars 1,000, CEO Paul Travers told Bloomberg. Of course, this would entail booming sales, among other factors, but Travers maintains optimism when asked about the future of the smart glasses with Alexa integration.
The company knows the $1,000 price tag is quite expensive, so it's hoping to sell them for below $500 by 2019. Everyone's attention was previously focused on Apple and its rumored AR smart glasses.
Egypt Quietly Begins to Accept Jerusalem as Capital of Israel
Before Trump's announcement, Abbas was scheduled to meet with Pence in the biblical town of Bethlehem. Sissi will meet with Pence despite the deep unpopularity of Trump's decision.
It's good to see the smart glasses market continue after Google Glass had a rough test launch. As a producer of compatible head-mounted displays for the technology, the company is no novice in the AR market.
Google attempted to deliver an AR experience with the Google Glass, but it failed to gain traction, and will only be remembered for the many Glassholes who cared not about the privacy of others.
